2014 Corvette Stingray

2014 Corvette Stingray

While it’s easy for a sports car fan to pine for a pricey European ride such as a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, or Aston Martin – it’s hard to find a better bang-for-your buck performance vehicle than a Corvette. The 2014 Corvette Stingray is looking pretty slick and will have Brembo brakes, available magnetic ride suspension and an estimated even dose of 450 horsepower and torque. The new Corvette Stingray will have the choice of a 7-speed rev match manual or a 6-speed automatic paddle shift transmission, and by the looks of the pictures it appears the 2014 Corvette Stingray has also received a very significant interior upgrade over previous Vettes.

It’s been a decade since the last limited edition supercar from Ferrari went on sale. While it’s still very secretive, the Ferrari F150 (model name may likely change) will be the successor to the Enzo and we can’t to learn more. Ferrari released some teaser pictures and expect the F150 to have a V12 and a lot of carbon fiber.

Especially in red, the 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider will be associated with Dustin Hoffman and The Graduate for a long time. The Series 1 Alfa Romeo Spider was only produced from 1966-1969, but even the Series 4 Spider from the early ’90′s retained the style and lines of the original seen in the classic film. The 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider seen in The Graduate cost $3,950 in the US, had only 110 hp, and did 0-60 mph in approximately 13 seconds. By no means fast compared to today’s standards, but still an awesome and classic sports car. Just remember to fill up the gas tank before trying to break-up a wedding.

Hello Mrs. Robinson…

Outerlimits Offshore Powerboats

outerlimits power offshore powerboats

Outerlimits is a Rhode Island powerboat builder that makes only high-performing and high-quality watercraft. While Outerlimits boats are built for speed, they also feature luxurious cabins with custom materials and a surprising amount of comfort. Ranging up to 52′ in length and made with carbon fiber, these boats are light and strong – enabling top speeds of over 120 mph (and that’s FAST when you’re on water). They even make some canopied models that will go even faster. On their website they have some used inventory ranging from $185k-$599k, but expect to pay upwards of $1MM for one of their larger/faster models brand new.

As did the Boxster a few months back, the Porsche Cayman also got reworked – and the new model was revealed today at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The first images display a beautiful sports coupe and clearly a lot of the lines are borrowed from the new Boxster. The new Cayman will start around $54k and for approximately $10k more you can get the 321 hp Cayman S model, which will hit 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds when paired with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Due to hit showrooms in the spring, can’t wait.

BMW i8 Concept

The BMW i8 concept car is powered by both an electric motor and a 220 hp 3-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, which combined produce 354 hp. This futuristic roadster hits 0-60 mph in under five seconds and has a remarkable fuel efficiency of 104 mpg. There’s really no excuse with that gas mileage – but if you do run out of gas, it’ll still travel 20 miles on the electric engine before the battery drains. The i8 concept also features “laser lights” which are brighter, smaller, and more efficient than LEDs.

The 2013 Maserati Quattroporte will be an all-new model – and at a first glance, it looks stunning. The Italian Supersedan received a facelift and interior upgrades while retaining the Quattroporte’s signature outline. The new V8 engine will be hand-built by Ferrari in their Maranello plant and we’re expecting a decent bump over the 425hp the current model outputs. Due to hit US shores a bit later as 2014 model.

McLaren 12C Spider

McLaren 12C Spider

The McLaren 12C is a wicked ride, but if you prefer a convertible you’ll want the 12C Spider. Losing the roof only reduces the Spider’s top speed by three miles per hour (204 mph) and 0-62 mph is achieved in a mere 3.1 seconds. The 2013 Spider has the same 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8 as its roofed sibling, packing a menacing 616 hp (24 more than the original 12C). McLaren is best known for their F1 cars and much of their racing technology is present in this car – so without a roof over your head, you’ll certainly feel like you’re on an F1 circuit driving this beast. Only problem, it’ll cost you around $275k.


Lamborghini Countach

1989 Lamborghini Countach

With it’s radically flamboyant style, the Lamborghini Countach had a major impact on the sports car world when it was first produced in 1974 (was first introduced as a concept at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show). The trademark scissor doors were a first on the Countach and would carry through to the car’s predecessors – the Diablo, Murcielago and Aventandor. The original Countach had a 375hp V12 which got it from 0-60mph in 5.6 seconds – which seems mediocre by today’s standards, but was certainly FAST in 1974.
